st: Program error: code follows on same line as open brace

[Daniel Almar de Sneijder <dasneijder@gmail.com>]

Hello statalist,

When I attempt:

foreach wave of numlist 1/8 {
gen r`wave'Name = r`wave'Caregiving
}

I receive the error:
Program error: code follows on same line as open brace

The first wave gots created, i.e. r1Name. But as soon as it starts
with wave 2 the message appears.
Does anybody knows why this is happening? And how to fix it?

I have tried
foreach wave of numlist 1/8 { *
gen r`wave'Semin = r`wave'Caregiving
} *
*

without succes
and also

foreach wave of numlist 1/8 { *

gen r`wave'Semin = r`wave'Caregiving

} *
*

THANKS,
daniel
